Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes to their codebase, collaborate with others, and manage project versions effectively.

GitHub, on the other hand, is a web-based platform built around Git, providing hosting for Git repositories, collaboration tools, and additional features for software development workflows.

You can also check series II once done.

Together, Git and GitHub form a powerful combination that enables efficient and collaborative software development workflows. Developers use Git for version control and managing code changes locally, while GitHub provides a centralized platform for hosting repositories, collaborating with others, and managing the entire software development lifecycle.

Here is an awesome YouTube video I recorded sometimes back to help you with GitHub. You can use this to also push your lessons learn in my medium stories to your GitHub profile.
